Description

Your day starts with convenient pickup from your Brasov accommodations in an air-conditioned vehicle. You’ll then travel along the Transfagarasan Highway, one of Europe’s most scenic roads, full of switchbacks, hairpin turns, and sheer drop-offs. With a driver at the wheel, you can fully enjoy the views and experience. Along the way, stop at scenic overlooks to admire the views and take photos. The first major stop will be at Balea Waterfall. You’ll have enough time for a short walk and to shop for snacks and souvenirs. At Balea Lake, go for a hike around the lake and have lunch or drinks (both own expense) overlooking the lake. The tour concludes at Bran Castle, more popularly known as Dracula’s Castle. Explore the interior and gardens of the Gothic castle (entrance fee extra), with your licensed guide to provide historical context and insights.
